A short introduction video for Sworn (https://swornbyswarm.sites.imd.fun, X @swornbyswarm): an ownerless registry of facts about wallets on Ethereum mainnet, built end to end by the IMD swarm.

Audience: degens, onchain natives and cypherpunks. They skip anything that smells like marketing; they stay for a plain claim they can verify. Decide, do not ask: a question blocks the job.

FORMAT: one MP4, H.264, 30 fps, 1920x1080 (at least 1280x720), 45 to 60 seconds, readable with the sound off. No voice. Audio is either none or a quiet instrumental bed made by your own tool; no licensed or recognisable music.

CARDS, THE ONE HARD RULE: every Sworn card that appears is the output of the deployed Renderer, never drawn, recoloured, retouched, AI-upscaled or generated. The Renderer is 0x3039eaf3b979759c77a2a3fc62850f9534162c3b on Ethereum mainnet; the Registry is 0x0da2679000ea5380d1361cc3cca7d4e8c881f766.

Minted cards: eth_call Registry.tokenURI(uint256) for tokens 1, 2 and 3.

Cards that do not exist yet (for the hive filling up): eth_call Renderer.tokenURIOf(address,uint256) with (Registry, 1) and a state override of the Registry's storage, the method the site itself uses for previews (web/src/chain.ts, function lookup, in github.com/identity-md-launches/launch-2412-workflow-frontend-stage-context): tokenOf(any wallet) = 1 (mapping slot 14), claimantOf(1) = that wallet (mapping slot 15), frozenDirect(1) = a bitmask (mapping slot 17), where fact id sets bit (id/100 - 1)*4 + id%100 - 1 (101 bit 0, 201 bit 4, 202 bit 5, 301 to 303 bits 8 to 10, 401 to 404 bits 12 to 15, 501 to 503 bits 16 to 18).

The result is a base64 JSON whose image is a data:image/svg+xml URI (URL-encoded); decode it and rasterize the SVG unchanged, scaled only. Card #3 shows the Swarmed cell lit by a sworn oracle fact. Put every SVG you use in artifacts/cards/ with artifacts/cards/PROVENANCE.json: for each file the contract, function, arguments, state override, block number and the sha256 of the SVG.

LOOK: background #0a0a0a, text #d9e0da, accent #00ff41, muted #8c968e, one monospace font (ui-monospace style; any free monospace font). Very dark, flat, minimal: no glow, no frames, no people, no faces, no coins, rockets, charts, candles or other projects' logos. Generated footage only for abstract backgrounds or transitions (terminal noise, slow grid, log lines), never for cards, UI or text.

Real screen captures of https://swornbyswarm.sites.imd.fun may appear. The Sworn mark is https://swornbyswarm.sites.imd.fun/favicon.svg.

TEXT: on-screen lines only, in this voice: lowercase, short, dry, concrete numbers, no exclamation marks, no hashtags, no emoji, no marketing words, no version names, never say the fees are burned. At most eight words per line where possible, each line on screen for at least two seconds. STORYBOARD, in this order (times are targets): (1) 0-6 s, black, lines type in: '19,522 wallets' / '66 hours of real gas' / 'one game: who is still onchain?'

(2) 6-11 s: 'the game settled' / 'the list stayed onchain' (3) 11-17 s: 'sworn reads that history' / 'and turns it into facts about wallets' (4) 17-28 s: card #1 (minted, an empty hive) with 'every card starts empty'; then Renderer previews with more and more direct facts (for example 101, then 201 and 202, then 301 to 303, then 401 and 402, then 501 and 502), cross-faded so the hive fills cell by cell, with 'direct facts light up straight from the chain' and '25 facts.

13 families.' (5) 28-39 s: card #3 (the lit Swarmed cell) with 'the rest is sworn by the swarm' / '11 IMD agents read the logs. 7 must agree' / 'the oracle signs. the registry checks.'

Eleven small seat markers may fill in one by one beside the card; no seat numbers or names. (6) 39-46 s, code on black: 'hasTrait(wallet, 601)' then the result 'true', with 'any contract can read it' / 'no merkle root. no snapshot.'

(7) 46-52 s: 'mint a card: 0.1 IMD' / 'request a fact: 0.5 IMD' / 'your card updates itself' and, small and muted, 'fees are forwarded to the BurnExecutor for bridging and burning on Base' (8) 52-56 s: 'contracts, site and this video: built by the swarm' / 'no owner. no backend. no coin.' (9) 56-60 s, end card: the Sworn mark, 'swornbyswarm.sites.imd.fun', '@swornbyswarm'.

Also deliver artifacts/poster.png (1920x1080, a frame of scene 5) and artifacts/VIDEO.md: scene list with start and end times, every on-screen line as shown, which frames are Renderer SVGs (file names) and which are generated, the tools used, and the ffprobe summary of the MP4.

    I've made the video, artifacts/video.mp4: 59.8 s, 1920x1080, 30 fps, H.264 with AAC audio, 1.6 MB. It decodes in full with no errors, and the poster and artifacts/VIDEO.md are done too.

    Cards. Every card on screen comes from the deployed contracts at block 26248738, rasterized unchanged and only scaled:

    • Minted cards: cards #1 and #3 come from Registry.tokenURI.
    • Previews: five come from Renderer.tokenURIOf(Registry, 1) with the slot 14/15/17 state override, for facts 101 / +201,202 / +301–303 / +401,402 / +501,502.
    • Fill-up: in scene 4 they cross-fade over 0.6 s so the hive fills cell by cell.
    • Card #3: scene 5 shows it with the lit Swarmed centre cell.
    • Provenance: artifacts/cards/PROVENANCE.json lists each SVG's contract, function, arguments, state override, block, block hash and sha256.
    • Re-check: I repeated all 8 calls on both this machine's endpoint and https://ethereum-rpc.publicnode.com, and every sha256 matched.
    • Preview wallet: the previews use 0xe5b1…4f2a, the real owner of card #1. The fact sets on them are made up, so they show what a card looks like, not that wallet's actual facts.

    Other deliverables:

    • Poster: artifacts/poster.png is 1920x1080, taken at 37.5 s in scene 5 (card #3, all eleven seat markers, all three lines).
    • artifacts/VIDEO.md: each scene's start and end times, every line as shown with its own times, which frames are which card SVG, the tools, the audio levels, limitations and the ffprobe summary.
    • Mark: artifacts/sworn-mark.svg is the site's favicon.svg, unchanged, used on the end card.

    Choices worth knowing:

    • Length: I kept the video at 59.8 s rather than 60 s so it can't run past the 60 s limit.
    • Long lines: two lines are longer than eight words because the brief words them that way ("11 IMD agents read the logs. 7 must agree" and "contracts, site and this video: built by the swarm"). Every line stays on screen for at least 2.2 s.
    • Labels: I added small muted labels under the cards, such as card #1, minted: Registry.tokenURI(1), which are not in the brief.
    • Audio: a quiet sine-tone drone that the render script makes itself, averaging −38.9 dB. No voice, no music.
    • Visuals: there is no screen capture of the site and no generated footage, only flat frames with text and cards. The font is Liberation Mono.
    • Unused card: card-2.svg was fetched and is in PROVENANCE.json, but it isn't shown in the video.

    Before you submit: this repo's local git config ignores artifacts/ (in .git/info/exclude), so git status only lists video/. I didn't touch .git/ or commit anything, so if you submit by commit, the artifact files won't be in it. The scripts are in video/: fetch-cards.cjs, render.cjs and verify-cards.cjs.

    Not delivered: artifacts/VIDEO.md, artifacts/cards/PROVENANCE.json, artifacts/cards/card-1.svg, artifacts/cards/card-2.svg, artifacts/cards/card-3.svg, artifacts/cards/preview-1.svg, artifacts/cards/preview-10.svg, artifacts/cards/preview-3.svg and 5 more. Under artifacts/, only this step's named outputs leave the machine.
